Description

The price is for the empty bag only. The poles and pegs shown in the photographs are examples and are not included with the bag. They can be purchased separately from us.

The Zeltzubehörtasche tent accessory bag is a reproduction of a German pattern used to carry poles and pegs for the Zeltbahn shelter quarter. The inner compartment is sized for three wooden pole sections and three metal tent pegs, keeping the accessories together in a compact package. The photographs show how they are arranged inside the bag.

This version is made from thin but dense cotton material in feldgrau, a pale green shade associated with German field uniform cloth. The bag is fitted with original buttons; together with the cloth texture, leather straps and metal buckles, this gives it a convincing authentic look. The combination of materials is especially clear in the photographs.

The flap closes with two buttons, while two natural leather straps with metal buckles secure the bag from the outside. This construction holds the contents in place and keeps the poles and pegs from moving loosely during carrying.

Bag size 40 × 14 cm. The reproduction is suitable for completing a Zeltbahn shelter quarter set and for historical reenactment of German Second World War field equipment.

Historical reference.

The triangular Zeltbahn 31 shelter quarter was introduced in 1931 and served as an individual shelter, rain poncho and component of larger field tents. Several quarters could be buttoned together to create shelters of different sizes.

Each shelter quarter was issued with a two-metre Zeltleine 92 rope, one wooden Zeltstock 01 pole section approximately 37 cm long and two Zeltpflöcke 29 pegs approximately 26 cm long. The accessories were sometimes carried in a purpose-made Zeltzubehörtasche, although they were often rolled directly inside the folded shelter quarter.

A four-man pyramidal tent used four Zeltbahn quarters, four central pole sections and eight pegs. Accessory bags were produced in field grey, olive and camouflage fabrics, with variants featuring leather straps and the characteristic aluminium three-hole buttons.
